The Interview

JERRY CAPECI is usually described as America's foremost expert on organised crime. He writes about it for New York's Daily News. He is the co-author of three books, Mob Star, Murder Machine and Gotti: Rise And Fall, 'the tell-all true-crime shocker', as the cover has it, of John Gotti 'the most infamous mobster since Al Capone'. And he has a Web site called Gangland - Real Stuff About Organized Crime (www.ganglandnews.com).

Capeci was in Hong Kong recently, on holiday with his wife, Barbara, and daughter, Jenna, and was persuaded by the University of Hong Kong to give a seminar entitled 'Gangsters, Crimebusters and the Godfather'. He spoke grippingly about the Mafia but it was apparent that all the journalists who had turned up wanted to know real stuff about triads. This is not Capeci's field of expertise, as he remarked several times, but nonetheless, everyone was hopeful he might be privy to vital information about dire deeds on this side of the world. Searching questions on this topic were asked at regular intervals.
